Hi Pamela, thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed your stay and found the home clean and awesome. Because the property is in a rural area, internet options are limited, and if many guests use the Wi-Fi at the same time, it can slow down the connection. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to hosting you again!
We had an overall decent stay at this cabin and appreciated the quiet setting and the opportunity to get away for a few days. The place was generally as described and served its purpose for our trip.There were a few things future guests may want to be aware of. The water had a slight brown tint and noticeable odor during our stay. The cabin itself also had a smell similar to mothballs that took some getting used to. Supplies were fairly minimal. for example, there was very limited paper towel and other basic consumables provided.One other thing to note is that there are quite a few cameras positioned around the exterior of the property. They may be there for security purposes, but it was more extensive than we expected.Overall, the stay was okay, but a few improvements to the water quality, cabin odor, and basic supplies would make the experience much more comfortable.

Family Christmas
Property was great for the Christmas party and family time together. Enjoyed the experience. It's a older cottage but has been updated nicely. Had everything we needed.
We loved the accommodations. Everything was spotless and just as it was represented online. However, the water was incredibly smelly (like sulfur-or something). Not sure if this is just the nature of the water up here or if it was specific to the cabin. I wish there had been a disclaimer.
Thank you

Good choice but not what we expected
I would recommend staying here but I felt they missed the mark a bit. BEWARE checking in, they issue a 4 digit code to get in when you need a 10 digit code. After getting inside the buildings the cleanliness and ammentities were spot on! They had all the utinsels for cooking meals which was very much appreciated. The well pump did run many times when water was not running and the well alarm went off twice - but i trust by speaking with Vacasa that wilp be fixed. Note you only have access to 2 of the 3 buildings so when evaluating the space via photos mind that you do not go in to the middle pole shed it is padlocked. Vacasa only allows one tp per person so if youre staying a while bring your own. Very relaxing and fun place to get away and experience fun times. Lots of games to keep all ages entertained for days. Although no juke box and some of the photos are old because the rooms have been rearranged and updated. Grateful for the opportunity to stay there and it was a blast overall.

So much space!
Loved:
- so spacious-- having two cabins is great!
- kitchen supplies-- ample utensils and kitchenware. They even had a crockpot!
- bathroom-- lots of extras and towels
- spacious backyard by the barndo
- ample parking
- nice big firepit (you have to bring your own wood)
- so fun having the theater screen
- easy setup for guest streaming. Only issue was the instructions said to use hdmi 1, but it was actually 2
- awesome having 2 kitchens
- easy self check-in
Dislikes:
- not the cleanest especially in barndo. You walk two steps and your feet turned black. Cabin smelled terribly if dog feces/urine
- grill by barndo propane tank was empty
-barndo bed was terrible
- wish the barndo curtain behind the theater screen covered the top windows. It made watching TV during the day nearly impossible
-a/c in barndo did absolutely nothing. It was very warm
- basketball had hole in it, so just used volleyball
- well lit outside for nighttime, with the exception of between the 2 sheds. A light between those would be nice
Overall would definitely recommend though! Lots of room! Lots to do!
